Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet (Multitouch)

Windows XP Tablet Edition put tablet PCs on the map. Vista improved its handwriting recognition. Now, Windows 7 adds multi-touch. Is 2010 the year tablets earn their mainstream credentials? Well, that's up to tablet makers like Lenovo. The tablet pioneer has forged its reputation with its X200 Tablet series, which has few equals. The ThinkPad X200 Tablet (Multitouch) ($2,000 direct), if you haven't already guessed, adds multitouch capabilities. Paying $125 extra for touch panel may be tough for a business manager to approve, but nothing is taken away from what's already a triumphant digital pen experience; thus, it retains its Editors' Choice in the tablet category.
